LANDOVER, Md. - Here is what the Giants and the Redskins were saying after Big Blue's convincing 40-16 blowout victory at FedEx Field on Sunday.

Giants coach Pat Shurmur

(On the offense without Odell Beckham Jr.)

"Yeah, I mean, this is a team sport. I think everybody did their jobs well today and for whatever reason, if you don't have one of the players, that can make a difference. But it's all about the team."

(On his confidence level for Beckham playing before he was ruled out)

"Yeah, I was [confident] Friday. You know he practiced all week. This has been a thing that has been lingering. He was further evaluated on Friday and came in Saturday and it was pretty evident that he couldn't play."

"No, I don't know, I am not worried about it right now. I think he will do what he can to come back next week."

Giants QB Eli Manning

(on having a 34-point lead before halftime)

"You know, it's fun. Those don't happen all that often in the NFL, where everything is clicking and the defense is getting turnovers. Offensively, hitting a lot of big plays in the run game and a couple in the pass game, scoring in the red zone. Those things, they don't happen much so you've got to take advantage of it. It's fun to be in those type of games where everything seems to be working."

(on enjoying Saquon as a football fan)

"I like when he's running free. Yeah, I'm a fan of that. I could get used to handing it off and watching him run. It makes my job a little easier, but still everybody has to do their part. We've got to throw the ball, and we've got to complete it, but when you can run it, it gives you the opportunity to set things up and obviously throw the ball well. It'll set up the run so they both kind of complement each other."

"It's good to get Kyle [Lauletta] in there and get him some action. It's good to sit back and get a little rest and start getting ready for next week."

(on the rest of the season)

"Every game is going to be different. You don't expect next week to be a game like this. We just have to keep playing hard, play for each other, rely on both sides of the ball to do their job, and go find ways to win. This was a fun one to have, but we got to get back to work and have a great week of preparation playing an unfamiliar Tennessee team that's playing good football. We just have to get ready to go out and play well."

Giants WR Sterling Shepard

(on the offense's performance)

"It was a great feeling. Everybody got a chance to shine today, and it was a collective team effort. Everybody came in with the mindset, 'everyone was going to do this,' and we were able to execute and get it done."

(on his block on Saquon Barkley's TD run)

"That's just something we take pride in as receivers - blocking down field and blocking for Saquon. You never know where he's going to be, so you have to stay on your block at all times."

(On his block on Redskins CB Josh Norman)

"I enjoy all of my blocks. There was a block before that I thought was better than that one. Any time you can spring a back for a big run, it's a good feeling."

(on picking up the workload with Beckham sidelined)

"I just think that's known. When you know one of your biggest weapons in the offense is going to be out, somebody has to pick up the slack. We just played a great team game today, so it was great. It kind of switched up the way they were covering us as well."

Giants CB Janoris Jenkins

"Every play that the coach called for us was working, if you let me tell it. We came out there and did what we had to do."

(on defense scoring three touchdowns in the last five weeks)

"That's great, right? Yeah, we just got to keep doing it, baby. Just got to keep working together as a team: offense, defense and special teams. We're going to be alright."

Giants LB Alec Ogletree

(on watching Saquon Barkley break his 78-yard touchdown run)

"There goes that man, the bad man. He is a special guy that brings a lot of energy to the team and the offensive side of the ball, even the defense. When you see him running like that, you're like, man, we got to get the ball back before he does it again. I think he should have scored on the other one, but I guess he can get a little break."

(on being 5-8 and getting prepared for the next three games)

"It is just going out there and keep preparing like we've been doing. Telling them each and every week to take it one game at a time. We've got three games left, I think, we just have to play them one at a time. Next week Tennessee. They are playing really good ball and it will be a challenge for us to play against them. We are going to put our heads down and enjoy this win, but get back to work next week, hopefully have a good week of practice and go into the game with confidence."

Redskins CB Josh Norman

(on what went wrong with the defense)

"Everything, you saw the game."

(on why practice didn't transfer to success during the game)

"I don't know, man. We were taken to the back of the barn, kind of like your grandmother does with one of those big thick paddles and we got it put to the backside pretty good. That's what happened."
